” Gerhard takes the listener to a special place with the collection of virtuosic fingerstyle guitar playing laced with feelings mainly centered on quiet jubilation …high marks in tonal control, clarity, choice of tempo and creative use of tuning.” – Downbeat Magazine

“…Subtly masterful, heartfelt performances .” -Blues Review

“I’ve always felt that making music was the best thing people have ever done in the world.  To me, the blues is some of the very best music ever made.  Blues songs are about everything.  Life and death.  Misery and humor.  Good and evil.  God and the Devil.  Women coming, women going (and some that look good in either direction).  I’ve thought of these instrumental pieces as songs for the most part, real songs that are about something.

It’s been a real pleasure going back to the well and rediscovering the great music that inspired me as a kid just learning to play the guitar.  I got a huge kick ou of writing and arranging this music and hope you’ll enjoy listening. -Ed
